It hasn't failed. There's a lot more to the GDPR than the warnings you see on some websites - many of which likely don't constitute proper informed consent anyway and so would be unlawful.
- narag 6y agoWhen I criticize GDPR is exactly for the warnings you see on most websites. They're a nuisance and don't prevent data collection. I need to use technical measures to have some privacy and now I also need to use additional technical measures to avoid the crappy warnings. You say warnings are unlawful, and that's even worse, because that means they've created an unenforceable law. Or what are they waiting to prosecute those violations? I'm not against data protection. I'm again incompetence.
- Ekaros 6y agoIt makes companies really think: Are we allowed to have this data? Do we need this data? How do we handle this data? Can we delete someone's data? And so on. The consent forms are just a tip of iceberg and the stupid thing. But under everything it forces companies to do things they might have not done before. And it's also a tool for developers who want things to be better. As there is finally slight risk to point out.
